SWORDS AND SAND(ALS)


300: The IMAX Experience (Warner Bros. Pictures 2006)300 (2006)

This is where we fight, this is where they die!!

Official Warner Bros. site

A testosterone-laden retelling of the Battle of Thermopylae, based on Frank Miller's (Sin City) graphic novel 300, with plenty thumping of massive, masculine chests: We are Heroes, we are He-men; hear us ROAR!

When King Xerxes of Persia (Rodrigo Santoro, "Lost") invades Greece with his huge army to extend his vast slave empire, Spartan King Leonidas (Gerard Butler, "Attila", "The Phantom of the Opera", "Beowulf & Grendel") brings his personal body guard army of three hundred warriors to defend the passage of Thermopylae, while his wife Queen Gorgo of Sparta (Lena Headey, "Onegin") tries to convince the council to send the Spartan army to fight against the Persians. ♥



Queen Gorgo: "Spartan!"

King Leonidas: "Yes, my lady?"

Queen Gorgo: "Come back with your shield, or on it."

King Leonidas: "Yes, my lady."
